Prep Cook

mfk. Restaurant
Chicago, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 7/12/2024 CLOSED ON 8/9/2024

What are the responsibilities and job description for the Prep Cook position at mfk. Restaurant?

mfk. Restaurant is a tiny joint in East Lakeview. We just celebrated our 10 year anniversary, and have achieved a Michelin Bib Gourmand Award every year since we opened. 

We are looking for a dedicated prep cook to join our seafood-loving crew.

Chef Matt Ginsburg runs an ego-free kitchen with a focus on simply executed, coastal-inspired cuisines of the Catalan and Basque regions of Spain.

We have about 24 seats in our dining room/bar, but don't let that fool you. We are busy and the kitchen is always moving. Having no walk-in or freezer means we prepare all of our food fresh, daily -- which is one of the reasons it's so damn good. Another reason is our chef, Matt Ginsburg.

Chef Matt has an excellent palate and operates with no pretense. His focus is on the food, not on awards or magazine covers. We believe in simply prepared food here.

We are currently open sevsn days a week. Everyone has two days off in a row.  Our last seating is 9:30, so no late services and we are not open for lunch.

We offer medical benefits for anyone working over 35 hours per week. We are closed roughly 3 wks out of the year for holidays and such.

Every chef we've ever had, excluding our first chef, of course, has been promoted from within our kitchen -- if that tells you anything. Chef Matt started as a prep cook.

Check out our website for more info on the restaurant, www.mfkrestaurant.com, or look up our reviews on Google.

If you've made it this far, and this opportunity is of interest to you, please respond with a cover letter and resume. All interviews will be conducted with a paid stâge of a few hours.

We look forward to meeting you.
